Romania will not go to war and there is no reason for panic or alarm regarding the country's possible involvement in a military conflict, the government said on Tuesday in response to fake information circulated in the public space, which features Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan speaking about Romania's alleged involvement in an armed conflict, which misleads public opinion."The Romanian state's decision is firm: Romania will not enter war.
